Behind the scenes[]

The date of the Daily Mirror issue with the victory announcement is not legible. However, a calendar hanging on the wall in the same comic panel clearly shows the year to be 1982 and the month to end on the letter "e", which can only be June. In the real world, the Falklands War officially ended on 14 June 1982.
